Arrival Strategy for Calgary How to manage jetlag based on arrival time
Upon morning arrival, immediately expose yourself to natural sunlight and stay active to reset your internal clock, avoiding lengthy naps that can disrupt adaptation.
Afternoon arrivals should focus on light exposure and moderate physical activity, keeping caffeine intake strategic to maintain alertness without overstimulation.
Evening arrivals should minimize bright light, prepare for a shorter initial sleep cycle, and aim to align with local nighttime within the first 24 hours.
